A good offensive staff away. The OG's are on the team now. So is the QB. Kiko back, sign Hughes. Draft Best TE in round two. Trade back into the 2nd and get best RB available. Draft DB and Linemen with the rest of picks. Playoff team right there and maybe more.

They had Chris Mortensen on Atl radio yesterday morning. They asked if anyone had been offered a HC job and he said no at first. He then quickly said' well Bill Cowher was offered the Buffalo job and he declined'. I think Jets- McDaniels Bears- Gase 49ers- Bowles Raiders-Kubiak Atl- Ryan(think he gets them a SB within 3 years) Buffalo- Bevell

Pioli gets say over draft and personnel. Thomas is more a cap guy and president. Thomas can not pick big guys. I think he is biased against fat people!

You know what all of them are. Can you honestly tell me you know 100% what EJ is or how good he can be with the right coaching?

I don't see a problem with Whaley having this stance. EJ is the best option for 2015 and maybe going forward if he can be coached up. Hopefully a new staff will be able to work with EJ. The talent is there. He needs work and confidence that can come from a new staff.

Nailed it. The health thing is another point not often brought up. The biggest injury was Kiko which occurred in the off season and thus the team was able to scheme with out him. The main reason this team went 9-7 was D play. We know that. IF Marrone only realized how inept he is on the O side of the ball as he is on the D side maybe the Bills would be in the playoffs! By this i mean if Marrone had hired a good OC this team is an 11 win team maybe 12, Due to Marrones ego he will not admit that himself or Hackett is in over their heads.

Maybe Johnson doesn't hire Marrone now. Johnson says all things being equal I don't want discipline action for tampering.

This is good news to me. Owner- Pegulas GM- Whaley Coach- TBD This is how things work on the football side. Brandon becomes President of football ops and handles the marketing/business side of things.

Honestly this is about the best thing Marrone did. After that he really did not do a darn thing great. The team Improved from 6-10 to 9-7 due to the D. PPG allowed went down over 6 points from 2013 to 2014. Marrone hired DC's he knew would be able to manage the defensive side of the ball and allow him to focus on the O. i assure you Marrone probably spent one meeting a week with his DC going over personnel and the broad strategy the DC was going to implore on game day. Marrone may have mentioned some points of concern and that was that. The offense actually got slightly worse from 2013 to 2014. I am sorry but anyone who thinks Marrone made this team better must have been watching something else then i was. Whaley and to some degree Nix are the ones to be praised for the talent they have put together.

I really wonder if the Bills have the OG on the roster already. I hope that myself and many others on here are correct that coaching was a big issue with regards to oline play. IF true Bills can spend the money on Hughes and a TE in FA. Thomas would be the first choice at TE(obviously).

I did not like the hire the second it was made. As for him as a coach i did not like him after watching the first game of 2013. I knew the O was bad and had a clue Hackett was a good reason why.

A lot of Broncos on that list.cant sign them all and bring Manning back.

She is nice looking and i bet she is very nice and she seems like she would be able to hang. It has to be tough being a woman covering football. Having said that, still take a Bills home playoff game without doubt. I am starting to think me getting a date with Erin is more realistic!

Sure. Personally i feel if you give Rex an offense like the Falcons have he will get the most out of the defense. Falcons were banged up this year, but i could see them adding a pass rusher in the draft and making a move in FA to get a couple vets that Rex could use and get the most out of. To the poster who said that Ryan would not be much of an upgrade over what the Bills currently have, i can only hope you are basing that off yesterdays performance. Even with the Bills Oline, Ryan would be the best QB the Bills ever had. I love Jimbo but with today's rules and such Ryan would torch Kelly's stats and win a SB with this D. Ryan went to BC and is a great QB who can play in all elements, the GB game this year proved that! Ryan is an amazing and smart QB. IF Ryan had the Bills D he would win at least 12 games maybe 14. I have been saying all year i wish the Bills could have Ryan for the season. Bills would be the best team in football i think.

No way. Falcons hire Rex, he gets a couple vets and a draft pick or two on D and the Falcons win the SB.

This was my thought. I don't think Polian will be or frankly wants to be the GM. Make good money consulting with out the headache of GM.

i like the positivism by the OP. I think we need to remind ourselves who we beat and how we beat them. The teams that beat Buffalo were more complete teams. Buffalo does not have a qb and does not have great coaching on the offensive side of the ball. I wish it was something more but i am not sold. Bills will probably be the 'sleeper' team from the AFC heading into next year. With the season on the line the Bills blew it in Oakland against a 2-12 team. To me that is inexcusable. How do you change that? Not sure, the is up the the Pegula's to figure out. There is where you need to point your optimism at, new ownership. Maybe this will be the culture change and ultimately bring a SB winner to Buffalo.

1 play proves nothing. Anyone else notice how when a drive is scripted like the first one of the game the Bills seems to do well? Hackett can not adjust is the problem. He lacks the ability to stay ahead. Orton is not good but neither is Hackett. If you can not tell that after 31 games you don't get it.

Ha! I grew to dislike Meyer while he was at Florida but only because i am a UGA fan. I respect Meyer for the coach he is. I just do not see what he does well translating to the pro game.

No way no how. Think Nick Saban and Steve Spurrier. Meyer is perfect for college where players are not paid more then he is.

God i hope Michigan offers him the job. Doug takes Hackett back where he belongs. Sad thing is that if Marrone had a OC as good as his DC Bills would be in the playoffs right now and possibly be fighting for home field.

Good job OP! No you didn't have any real effect on the game. IF you are a Bills fan you know you don't post things like this!

Yes i would. Provided we had an OC who knew how to use Brees w Sammy and CJ and Woods. Right now i think if the Bills had any QB back there Marrone and Hackett would ruin him.
